The ICPC attended an event organized by the IBCR on justice adapted to children

To celebrate the World Children’s Day, on Monday 20 November we had the pleasure of attending an event organized by the International Bureau for Children’s Rights (IBCR), which featured two panels on justice adapted to children

Organized at the Maison du développement durable in Montreal, this hybrid event, attended by almost 150 people, provided an opportunity for various national and international specialists to discuss new practices and solutions for combating the privation of freedoms and the lack of application of justice adapted to children’s rights around the world.   

It was also the opportunity for the ICPC to connect with its partner and network, with whom we are working on a project to develop a second line of sexual exploitation prevention services for youth aged 12 to 25.  

Thank you for the invitation!

During the event, Ann Champoux attended the main PNI workshop, which focused on “Improving the operation of the criminal justice system to ensure access to justice and a safe and secure society”, as well as taking part in conferences on key crime prevention issues.

Alongside meetings with members of our network, the ICPC had the pleasure of talking to Ian Tennant, head of the Vienna multilateral representation of the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC), and Walter Kemp, director of global strategy against transnational crime at GI-TOC. They were able to discuss the ICPC’s Urban Safety Laboratory model and explore partnership opportunities between the two organizations.
